Hanoi (VNA) – Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phucattended and delivered a speech at a ceremony held in Hanoi on March 11 tocelebrate 70 years since the first issue of theNhan Dan (People) newspaper, the official organ of the Party Central Committee.

Addressing the event, Phuc expressed his wish that Nhan danjournalists and reporters will continue honing their mettle, profession, ethics, and creativity while updating modern journalism trends, so that the newspaperis always worthy of being the Party's political and ideological flag on the nation’spress front.

Congratulating the paper’s achievements in the past time,the Government leader said concerted efforts by the entire Party, people andarmy, especially the revolutionary press force in general and thenewspaper in particular, are needed to successfully implement the 13th National Party Congress’s Resolution.

He requested Nhan dan journalists to press aheadwith performing their tasks assigned in the Politburo’s Decision 155 issued inDecember 2012.

Accordingly, the newspaper needs to focus on disseminatingthe content of the Resolution as well as the role of science-technology andinnovation in its implementation.

To be effective, information provided by Nhan dan must be better updated, with more analyses, comments and predictions on major local and international events, meetinginformation demand and orienting public opinions amid the current digital information era,Phuc said.

He also asked personnel at the newspaper to frequently workto improve their capacity to meet increasing journalism requirements.

Also at the event, Editor-in-chief Thuan Huu read the congratulatory letter of Party General Secretary and State President Nguyen Phu Trong sent to the newspaper on this occasion.

In 1951, amid the resistance war against French colonialists, the secondNational Party Congress in Kim Binh commune of northern Tuyen Quang provincedecided to launch Nhan dan, replacing Su That (Truth) newspaper.

The daily is currently a multimedia press agency, focusingon raising public awareness of Party building; the fight against corruption and wastefulness; manifestations of degradation in political thoughts,self-evolution and self-transformation; as well as wrongful and distortedallegations by hostile forces and political opportunists./.
